Keyer Menus
Keyer Menus
The key type, key mode, and clip adjustments for any of the M/E or DSK
keyers can be made from the Main panel using the M/E and DSK Keyers
subpanels (see M/E Keyer Subpanels
on page 116 and DSK Keyer Subpanel on
page 121 ). These controls are on the Main panel for immediate access. How-
ever, some key adjustment for detail, such as opacity and mask controls,
are accessible from the corresponding Keyer menu. The Keyer subpanels
and the corresponding menus will reflect and track the changes made by
either set of controls.
The Keyer menu controls are organized into several subcategories, each
with different menu selection based on the type of key. These menus are
accessed by touching the
Keyer button, then the category is chosen from the
Mode , Priority or Mask buttons at the bottom of the menu ( Figure 236 on
page 336 ). For a complete overview on key types and adjustments, refer to
Keying on page 50 .

four keyers in each M/E or the three DSK keyers from the Menu panel.
(Note that not all M/E key functionality is present in the DSK keyers).

will follow the selections made in the Keyers subpanel on the Main panel.
